Volunteer-run 'bike bus' for students to start April 10, Trail Mix says
Summary
Trail Mix members said a volunteer 'bike bus' to carry students from a pickup near the bowling alley to the elementary school will begin Friday, April 10, and run weekly on Fridays; parents, older students and volunteers will staff the effort.
Committee members described a volunteer-run "bike bus" for students that will begin on Friday, April 10, the first Friday back after spring break, and will run weekly on Fridays initially. The route is planned to start near the bowling alley with pickup stops along the way and terminate at the elementary school.
Colin Topper, who presented the plan, said organizers tested a pilot run that attracted about 20 participants on a cold day and that parent volunteers and older students will help staff the program. The group said they can add drop-off waves at middle- and high-school times if there is demand.
Members characterized the program as all-volunteer: parents, older students and community volunteers will staff rides; organizers will assess demand and expand frequency if needed. No liability, insurance or formal school-district approval details were discussed in the meeting record.
